News & Updates

Tycoon alerts have now made their way into this update. They are limited at the moment to alerts of employees quitting due to low morale and other factors, but this will continue to get expanded as we progress through beta. These notices will appear when you enter your casino.

The tycoon has received a lot of behind-the-scenes updates with how things are calculated and simulated. This is still very much a work in progress, so expect more major changes in this area soon. We are also looking for any feedback you have on the tycoon aspect of CasinoRPG.

The speech bubbles for NPC portraits (Real Estate Office, Metrics Menu, etc) have been updated to be more dynamic and flexible.

Fix bug that allowed some players to accidentally build multiple of the same building on top of each other.

Fix a connection bug that was causing several other random bugs.

A feature that will become available with public beta is sharing your casino with friends. This means that even if they don't have a CasinoRPG account, they will be able to view your casino live through a unique link. This will also double as a referral system that will let you get rewards for inviting your friends to play. While you can't use this yet, the initial system that will run this is built into this release.

Disable the front door and make it opaque while in edit mode.

Tweak the multiplier that determines cost for lots after your first one (the prices are more reasonable).

Blackjack: Slightly decrease the time between hands.

Blackjack: Only play the 'turn' sound once per turn.

Make the main menu button easier to click on.

Hitting the enter key while editing a casino's name now saves the name.

Reshow quick chat after leaving a mini-game.

Hide quick chat while changing your character's clothes.

Add the loading indicator to the change clothes screen and to taxi rides.

Fix a typo in the manage menu.

The 10-minute wait period between chip race mission failures has now been removed.

Critical bug fix with the intro tutorial that caused it to break halfway through.

All data that gets passed between the players and the game server is now encrypted to ensure ultimate security and better compatibility with higher security networks.

As items in your casino get used more and more, they will tend to break down over time. As this happens, you will see them 'shut off' (go dark) and a repair icon will show over them. You can then click on the icon and your maintenance people will go fix them for you.

Outdoor items can now be upgraded just like the indoor items.

Fix the seams in the concrete tiles.

Blackjack: Fix another table freeze bug.

Blackjack: An issue that sometimes caused your turn to be skipped has been fixed.

An exploit with jobs has been closed.

New casino item: Bonzai Tree.

14 new outdoor tiles have been added for lots.

GoldFire Network: If you don't have an avatar, the default avatars now have 18 different colors that are randomly selected when you signup (a feature coming soon will let you change your avatar).

Blackjack: Fix a few issues causing table freezes.

Blackjack: The rebet button has now been repositioned to be more obvious for new players.

Blackjack: A few more fixes to prevent cheating.

Fix the position of NPC images in dialogs so that they appear the same no matter the size of the dialog.

Fix the seams in the new median tiles and the sidewalk tiles.

14 new floor tiles are now available for your casinos and condos.

There are now street medians (like you would see in Vegas) spread around GoldFire City.

The front doors of casinos and condos have been redone using the same previous updates to the elevator. This makes them much easier and more natural to interact with.

Grass tiles are now completely seamless so that they no longer look like tiles.

Fixes 'hedge guy' mission giver, he can now be accessed again.

It is now actually impossible to put on jeans with your suit, so that you don't lock yourself out of the game.

More updates to Slots and Blackjack to prevent cheating.

Fix 'casino build complete' GoldFire Network notifications.

Several large improvements to missions givers. They are now much easier to click on for one thing. The coin above their head highlights when you mouse over them. They stop walking when you click on them. If you click on them from afar, the window will open without a second click once you have walked up to them.

Several tweaks to new player tutorial.

Fixed a bug in Blackjack that was causing tables to freeze after they filled up.

Position of mission UI fixed with the addition of the new vault tab.

We are now tracking the consecutive days that you've logged in (this will later be used for bonuses and medals).

Fix XP bug with slots on bonus spins.

Fixed a bug that kept an upgrading building from completing.

Some players had managed to put on jeans and a suit, which broke the game for them. This should no longer be possible.

Lots of other various error fixes that were causing some issues.

Vaults! Yes, your casinos now come with a vault (though you might want to upgrade from that old, dusty shoebox). Vaults serve two really great purposes that will open up the door for some more future updates that we have in store. Vaults allow you to store both items and chips. You can now move items from your casino floor into the vault and securely store them there (for example, if you are rearranging your floor and don't want to sell everything). Also, all profits from your casino go straight into the vault for safe-keeping. Whenever you need more chips, you simply go to one of your casinos and withdraw those chips from the vault. You have one vault that is shared between all of your casinos.

The back-end is in place for medals, so now we are just waiting on the art (if medals get added before public beta, they will be reset with everything else).

Fix position of dialog text in tutorial and Real Estate Building.

Fix issue with buttons showing incorrectly when switching between an item that is being moved in and one that has already moved in.

Added a new Lava Lamp: Rainbow. This Lava Lamp rotates through all of the colors of the other Lava Lamps.

A lot more tweaks to Casino Points from Slots, Blackjack and Poker (we are finally starting to narrow down on where we want this to be).

The odds of winning the jackpot are now much better.

Fix 'treadmill' bug that caused some players to look like they are still walking after they've stopped.

Fix some more hidden players bugs.
